Congratulations to Canadian FIFA Referee and RA Member Michelle Pye on her appointment to the CONCACAF Women’s U-17 Championships. The tournament, which will be held in Costa Rica in March, is the qualifying Tournament for this year’s FIFA Women’s U-17 to be held in Trinidad later this year.

Due to the road closures for the upcoming Winter Olympics and the number of members that will be volunteering during the Games, the membership of the Vancouver Area branch agreed to cancel their February meeting for this one occasion.

The March 29^th monthly meeting is going ahead on schedule at the usual place and time: Bonsor Community Center (South Burnaby Metro Club Room) in Burnaby at 7pm.

The referees from BC are Mauricio Navarro, Michelle Pye and Paul Ward. Darren Clark is the lone Assistant Referee from BC. The Referees Association congratulates all on their appointment.
